Abstract
The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) manages Magnet Recognition Program® certification. Candidates for this certification are required to pass a review comprising six compulsory documents and 84 sets of written documents in five model components as well as an onsite appraisal. The Magnet Recognition Program® for medical institutes is currently regarded as the highest honor in the nursing field. The series of measures necessary to establish a Magnet-recognized hospital is described in this article. Our hospital began preparation for recognition in January 2016, with the application submitted in May 2017. The required measures include establishing a Professional Practice Model, Governance Council, and National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators as well as implementing a mentoring plan. ANCC approved Magnet Recognition Program® recognition for our hospital in May 2020, making ours the first Magnet-recognized hospital in Taiwan. The nursing staff shared their experiences on their Magnet journey. Magnet-recognition demonstrates that a hospital is adequately equipped and trained to provide patients with outstanding nursing care and to operate an excellent nursing practice environment.
